Judging by the Facebook comments I’m reading, many Americans are too stupid to understand that more guns is not the solution.
@godpod Do you ever regret free will?

@godpod oh dont mind, people allways think more of something that doesnt work will someday work, same problem with cars or drugprohibition.

I think you made once a big mistake in the production.

@godpod Sadly, you can end this sentence with a period after the word stupid.
@godpod imagine going to your oncologist and their solution was, "Well, to fight your colon cancer, we're gonna give you a melanoma, and some non-Hodgkins lymphoma."
@godpod There is a good reason you can't just walk into a 7-11 and buy a stick of dynamite. Does not require beyond 6th-grade reasoning skills to understand why. AR-15 == stick-of-dynamite
@godpod Funny story - the guy who invented "dynamite", named Nobel, was afraid he'd be remembered as a destroyer, because of a fake obituary, and so...

@godpod having a gun wouldn't have stopped the Las Vegas massacre
@ZedNotZee @godpod
Try this, not having guns would have stopped the Las Vegas massacre. Make sense?

@BobDoodle @ZedNotZee @godpod

"Try this, not having guns would have stopped the Las Vegas massacre. Make sense?"

Yes, it does make sense. No guns = no mass shooting.

@godpod they just don't want a solution - they are comfortable with the way things are
@godpod please don't send them0 any more tornadoes, God, that was bad!
@godpod 74 million Americans voted for Trump after four years of Trump. That’s Guinness book of world records stupid.
@godpod Semantically, at least, we can never truly reach "more" guns—so we may never know.

@godpod

Americans who comment on Facebook are hardly representative (not to mention half those comments are foreign trolls.

Of course, seeing who America elects as its representatives, we could agree that Americans aren't very smart..

@godpod If someone said "more cars would mean fewer car accidents", then we'd laugh them off as pure cranks. Say the same kind of thing about more guns and....
@godpod judging by the five sites that I follow. prayers are also a fucking waste of time
@godpod can’t judge by FB comments but it’s certainly not intelligence, education, humanity that elects fascists in Florida, Texas etc etc etc
@godpod Guessing that more dead kids is a better solution for NRA and GOP! They believe in unfettered breeding for females so kids are cheap to produce and totally replaceable. Guns on other hand, are cherished for generations! Traditions are important! #Snark
@godpod More nukes will solve everything too!!!!! Seriously I don't get people. More of something isn't a solution outside kindness. OMG I drank poison! I need to drink more of it!!!!
@godpod That's what you get when you make intelligence a constant and stupidity a variable.

@godpod When you've placed your faith in guns, more guns is always the answer.

A few centuries ago it was about swords.

@godpod The USA is doing something about the daily mass shootings. Smaller, lightweight assault rifles are now available for children.

@godpod There are an estimated 400+ MILLION guns in the US...

For perspective; there are just over 320 MILLION people.

How many guns do they think is required?!

@julescelt01
Aren't 95% of all US guns owned by 1% of the population or something bonkers like that? It's like whales in the gaming sphere, or antisocial neighbours ruining the hood - a very difficult super minority wrecking society because they didn't pass the eleven plus
@godpod

@swagpussc @godpod This is the most recent link I found on gun ownership in the US; https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/09/13/key-facts-about-americans-and-guns/

And yes, a minority of people in the US own most those guns.

Key facts about Americans and guns

Here are some key findings about Americans’ attitudes about gun violence, gun policy and other subjects, drawn from recent surveys.

@julescelt01 @godpod In fairness, many of those guns are actually in Mexico being used by the drug cartels to kidnap children and sell them into sexual slavery.
@godpod More Van Halen albums are the solution! Send Eddie back! 🎸
@godpod Like. Trump killed 5 people. Now, I've got to pay a 55 dollar parking ticket. 11 dollars a person. You, stan, and j-bird are dope. But, this world makes no sense. G-man.
@godpod Perhaps we're just stalling the Final Solution, which in this case is EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD owning a firearm. ALL OF THEM. And then it's just a matter of time before the Final Battle begins.
@godpod
If you're quoting from Facebook as a reference source then you're not a very good god.
@godpod Is there a saturation point for guns where like a room full of loaded mouse traps one ping pong ball would set the whole lot off
@godpod Saying what we need is more guns after the latest shooting is rather like the passengers on the sinking Titanic saying what we need is more water in the ship.
